We welcome you to the third running of the Weybridge Health Club Brooklands Half Marathon and for 2016 we have moved to an earlier date - celebrate Valantines Day with a Half Marathon and then treat your loved one to a lunch at our official hotel, the 4-star Oatlands Hotel housed in a magnificent stately home with history going back to Henry VIII.
THE RACE
The event promises to be the premier Spring Half Marathon in the London area and will once again be held on closed roads. For 2016 we introduce pacers to help you get your target time - pacers will be running at 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, 2hr, 2.15 & 2.30 pace.
Starting on the test track at the super modern Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge, Surrey, the first 2 miles are all on the really smooth track surface before going out and through Weybridge, along the Thames by Walton Bridge and back to the Mercedes track for the last 2 miles and finishing on the historic Brooklands Straight.
Mercedes-Benz World is an exciting venue, close to South West London and on the M3/A30 main road links making it easy to get to from central London and from the M25. The futuristic venue gives us space for a 'Marathon Village' with sports retail and catering outlets and a 'charity village' along the home straight for the charity groups entering the event.
All runners will receive a quality technical event t-shirt and bespoke finishers medal.
Right next door is the Brooklands Motor and Air Museum making for a super day out.
